“Dr. Brent Shriver motivates his physician assistant studies students to strive for excellence through dynamic communication and utilizing technology effectively.

Along with his passion for teaching, he extends his instruction beyond the traditional classroom walls into the community. His students report that he is an approachable instructor who enjoys sharing his extensive knowledge with others.”
From the nominating letter by Rayna Wied, second year physician assistant
studies student, School of Health Professions:
“Dr. Shriver gives 100 percent in the classroom and in the community. From nutrition to genetics and behavioral medicine to pathophysiology, Dr. Shriver’s fount of knowledge never ceases to amaze me. My classmates and I learned so much in his classes while having lots of laughs along the way. Although the majority of my time now is spent away from campus on rotations, I haven’t forgotten about one of my favorite and most memorable professors and the many things he taught me.”
